Taoist temple that will cross

Chapter 114 Arriving in Xinye
In the evening, the sun, which had swayed the day's light and heat to its heart's content, sank slowly with reluctance. The orange-red glow, with little warmth left, started from the western sky and quickly permeated the entire earth.

Xinye, the city that Liu Bei has been operating for six or seven years, has a bit of a military town atmosphere. At this time, it is silent, like a dead zone where life and death are extinct.

"Hey..."

A sharp and piercing eagle call came from the sky.

After a while, over the forest a few hundred steps away, a five-meter-long eagle with a body as tall as an adult appeared with its wings spread.

Where it flies past, a huge black shadow will be left on the ground, which reminds people of the sentence in "Xiaoyaoyou" - its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.

Suddenly, it came towards the ground, bringing with it a gust of wind that caused the loess on the ground to fly.

With a muffled sound, it fell to the ground, and its bulging chest kept rising and falling.

"fly five miles"

Cao Yi came out of the woods with a look of helplessness on his face.

In the more than 100 miles from Xiangyang to Xinye, Xiaotian flew six times.

Fly three miles at a time.

Fly two miles three times.

Fly four miles at a time.

The farthest is now this time, flying five miles.

He is obviously an eagle with spiritual power, but he has to be carried by his master with a gourd for most of the journey, which makes people very speechless and puzzled.

The big eagle, or Xiaotian, immediately stopped panting when he heard Cao Yi's words, held his head high, and raised his mouth, looking disdainful.

"It's time to lose weight"

When Cao Yi passed by it, he left a word.

It made the sky roar, and let out a groan of dissatisfaction.

It seems to say that you don't understand the situation at all.

Not long after, Cao Yi came to the gate of the city.Glancing at the word Xinye on the city wall, he stepped into the city.

There are empty buildings on both sides, and a bluestone road several hundred steps long in the middle. The ground is full of messy things, giving people the feeling that it is a city abandoned by the soldiers and civilians when they retreated in a hurry.

After a stick of incense.

After walking a few streets, Cao Yi stopped in front of a not-so-good yard.

After a few glances, he nodded, "That's it."

The half-closed door, as if alive, opened automatically, revealing a quiet courtyard.

There are two trees planted in the yard, one is a jujube tree and the other is a locust tree.

Beside the jujube tree, there is a stone roller with a lot of grain left on it. Obviously, the owner left in a hurry.

Suddenly, a gust of wind hit.In the yard, there was a moment of dust.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaotian came in from the courtyard wall.

Cao Yi waved his hand in front of his mouth and nose and said, "Go around Xinye City a few times to see if there is anyone suspicious."

Xiaotian tilted his head and looked at Cao Yi suspiciously.

"Just like you and me"

Cao Yi left a word, opened the door and entered a house.

Xiaotian let out a strange cry, expressing that he understood, then flapped his wings and issued a small courtyard.

In the simply furnished room, Cao Yi opened the lid of the purple-gold-red gourd and took himself in.

This is a space the size of two double bedrooms, with an area of ​​about forty square meters.

On one side are miscellaneous things, and on the other side is a small piece of land planted with various spiritual herbs.

Cao Yi sat down cross-legged, and operated the golden liquid to return alchemy to absorb the spiritual energy of plants and trees. Tonight, he might meet that pre-Qin Qi practitioner, so he must maintain his best condition.

Not long after performing the exercises, an uncomfortable feeling came from the dantian.

Looking inside, the vegetation aura met the cluster of flames, and after burning, it became a fire aura.

The cluster of flames is like a greedy child, constantly devouring the aura of plants and trees, making the aura of plants and trees coming in very manic.

"They must be separated"

After trying several times without success, Cao Yi stopped absorbing the aura of plants and trees.Get up and go out from the purple-gold-red gourd.

It was already dark, and the room was dark.

Cao Yi took out a classic book and read it silently.

After about a quarter of an hour, there was a slight sound of footsteps and the sound of falling over the wall.

Cao Yi ignored it.

After a while, the door creaked and was pushed open.

A boy of eleven or twelve years old, dressed in rags, walked in.

Cao Yi saw that he was not like the owner of the house, so he didn't say a word.

Because of the darkness in the room, the boy didn't see Cao Yi.When I reached the back room, I rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a while, as if I was looking for something.

After a while, the boy returned, sat down on the ground, covered his stomach and said, "One, there is no food at all, so-so is starving to death."

After finishing speaking, the young man lay down on the ground, touched a soft mass with his hand, pinched it, let out a surprise, then picked it up, put it to his mouth and took a bite: "Steamed, steamed cakes are so delicious."

Then, he ate voraciously.

After eating, the boy continued to touch,
"There are two more, a steamed cake"

"Yes, it's greengage, so sour"

"There's still a jug of water, water"

The more the boy eats, the happier he is.

"Are you full?"

A faint voice sounded.

"ghost"

The boy jumped up as if a spring had been attached to his buttocks, rushed out, accidentally bumped into the door frame, and squatted down covering his face with an ouch.

Cao Yi smiled, and turned his head to see an oil lamp stained with oil on the desk beside him.

Stretching out his fingers, a flame burst out.When the oil lamp was lit, the room was immediately enveloped in a dim yellow light.With antique rooms, it is very beautiful.

"bright"

The boy stood up abruptly and turned around.

Seeing that Cao Yi was well dressed, the fear on his face was a little less, his eyes rolled a few times, and he said, "So-so, I thought that no one in your house had left, so I just came in."

Cao Yi glanced at the young man and asked, "Why don't you go south with Liu Yuzhou?"

The young man glanced at Cao Yi, and said cautiously, "A certain one is waiting for my mother."

Cao Yi nodded, and asked again, "What's your name?"

Hearing Cao Yi ask for his name, the young man thought that Cao Yi was going to pursue him, so he turned his head and ran away, but somehow bumped into the door frame again, ouched, covered his forehead, and squatted down.

"What is your name?"

Cao Yi asked again.

The young man stood up slowly, turned around, and said after a long time of murmuring, "Hey, hey!"

That's where the name comes from!
Cao Yi smiled and said, "What's your surname?"

The young man took a peek at Cao Yi, and said with a face of shame, "My surname is Deng."

Surnamed Deng!

Stutter!

Eleven or twelve years old!
Cao Yi looked the young man up and down for a while, and said, "You are from Jiyang, your ancestors are from a rich family, your father died young, and your mother brought you up, right?"

The boy opened his mouth halfway, his face full of disbelief.

Cao Yi opened the lid of the gourd, and with a thought, three plates of steamed buns and a pot of water appeared on the table.

“Not full yet”

The boy, or Xiao Deng Ai, swallowed his saliva, walked over, thanked him, sat down, held a steamed bun in one hand, and a water bottle in the other, and began to eat and drink in big gulps.

After a while, he coughed because he ate too fast.

　The fine outline is finally done, today, the third or fourth watch, please recommend a ticket...
